Swerve Strickland believes everyone from AEW has stepped up their game in 2025.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Swerve Strickland recently spoke with Big Gold Belt Media at San Diego Comic Con. When asked about the deal he secured with Reebok to launch his sneakers this year, Strickland credited the company for making that happen and put over every aspect of AEW stepping up their game this year.
“Dude, that wasn’t me at all,” Swerve Strickland admitted. “That was just an AEW thing like, I really feel like over the last year, All Elite Wrestling, the marketing department, the social team like everything has just stepped up so much tenfold not just not just in the ring, not just the product you see on TV, not just like the stories and the people, like the talent.
“I feel like everybody behind the scenes from top to bottom, like the camera work, the production, like everybody stepped up so much. Like the last collab was the Young Bucks, they had the pumps and everything. They were like, okay, how do we take it up another notch? They were like, we’re gonna use Swerve. We’re gonna use you and we’re gonna link with AI (Allen Iverson). The answers was already like a thing. They actually let me pick one.” [H/T: Fightful]
